We begin with one of the Bay area most famous beach bars: Caddy's on Treasure Island.

On May 30, a state inspector found 23 critical violations, including refrigeration units unable to maintain proper temperatures, an employee spotted not properly washing his hands, old food stuck to clean utensils, and slime on both the soda dispensing nozzles and inside the ice machine.

We stopped in to see if the problems had been corrected. We went down the list: from soap at the sink, to a cleaned up ice maker, everything appeared up to par.

"It's not just the beach. We are a restaurant and bar and we serve food and serve drinks and have to abide by all the standards," said Caddy's manager Bob Cyr. "If I went to a place, I would expect the same thing."

Next stop was Coasters Bar & Grille on Indian Rocks Beach.
On May 31, the inspector found tuna salad at 47 degrees, an employee smoking in the food prep area, a foul smelling freezer with mold growing inside, and over 130 rodent droppings on top of the refrigerator, around the food storage rack, even inside the pans.

Despite the previous problems, owner Heather Bowles was eager to show us her cleaned up kitchen. We found the stinky freezer removed and the remaining refrigeration units clean and organized.

"I'm glad it was actually brought to my attention," said Bowles. "It gave me an opportunity for me to correct it, gave me an opportunity to retrain my staff, tell them the importance of keeping the kitchen clean and making good product for my customers."
